Tank up the party with Protectga or other similar buffs. Use ice attacks for a quick victory. Tauntaliate will do fine, but you don’t get full value out of it since Tail Lash hits the whole party. It does, however, help you play around its Gnash counter.

Pray that you don’t get petrified by the breaths. Otherwise, tank up with Protectga and remember to exploit holy for medals. Having Quake is also good here.

TOTAL medals = 30 medals, meaning you can only lose a max of 5 medals to get Mastery.

Strategy

Same as the other Abadon, except it can now Attack your entire party for heavy damage. Make sure to buff the party with Protectga or other similar buffs, and also reduce Abadon’s attack. Exploit its weaknesses for a quick fight. If you have your own mitigation, you can use Squall’s BSSB as RW and take advantage of the multihit fire attack!

Total medals = 18, meaning you can only afford to lose 3 medals to get Mastery.

Strategy

Very magic oriented boss. As such, Shellga and other similar buffs is essential. Magic Breakdown goes without saying. Stack it for greater effect. Don’t forget to exploit wind for medals. If you have your own mitigation, you can use Squall’s BSSB as RW and take advantage of the multihit wind attack!

Strategy

Take down Fujin first to eliminate any possibilities of Sai happening.

You can Blind Raijin if you want, but do take note that Raijin Special is not affected by Blind.

Shellga and Protectga are important here.

It is also wise to bring some Poison attacks (Biora Strike, Bioga, etc) since all three are weak to Poison as well.
